(Ciela’s POV)
It has been more than a week since I sent out the letter to the Crown Prince.
“Why isn’t he coming?”
It’s already 10 am. Too late for breakfast and too early for lunch.
At this moment, I was lying in bed while hugging a pillow. Because the curtains were drawn, the room was as dark as night.
“I thought that he would at least send me a rejection letter.”
After sending the letter, telling him that his prospective fiancee is having an affair with my fiance.
The next day, I kicked the blanket, wondering what I had done.
On the second day, I was so nervous thinking that the Crown Prince would attack me with a sword, asking if I dare to despise him.
Then on the third day, I thought maybe the letter was missing and on the fourth day…..
I’m Done. What’s the point of all this?
Even if it’s a headwind, I thought there was going to be some sort of response regarding the woman that he intended to marry. I didn’t know that he would ignore me.
“Then I guess there’s nothing that I can do about it.”
The Crown Prince seems to have already fallen in love with Tyrael. It was said in the original story that he fell in love at first sight, so even if she had an affair with another man, he must have liked her enough to cover up her mistake.
Damn that Female Lead (*)buff.
(T/N: This is an adjective which, in youth slang, means attractive/attraction.)
I curled up like a shrimp around the large pillow that I was hugging.
Yeah, since I’m going to break up with Duval, his affairs are not my business anymore. He can have a pretty love life whether it’s two or three, I won’t care anymore. Because I’ll just date my pillow.
The pillow is soft, warm, it doesn’t cheat on me, and I’m the only woman that it’s going to love.
“Milady.”
I was currently rolling around the bed with my pillow when May came in.
She brought hot chocolate and a sandwich for me, who was still in bed until noon, as she was carefully calling me.
May was my exclusive maid, and ever since she heard about Duval’s announcement for a divorce a week ago, her complexion has never been good since then.
“Is there anything else you want me to do?”
“No, it’s okay. Thank you.”
I lifted my heavy body and tried to sit up in front of the table.
‘Oh, I feel like I’m dying.’
Ciela’s body was weak enough to be called a sunfish. Since I’ve spent several months trying to find Duval’s weakness and getting to know Tyrael with this body, I was on the verge of getting sick.
I slowly drank the hot chocolate. The warmth spread throughout my body, which seemed to have calmed down after screaming in fatigue.
Sooner or later, Duval would send a request to break off the engagement. Then I’m going to sign right away and give myself some rest and healing.
‘I want to go to a hot spring.’
I heard there is a good hot spring in the far south, so I’ll have to check it out.
I became happy at the thought of the steamy hot spring. Then I’m going to eat some boiled eggs and do the sheep’s hair with a towel too. I should also drink some peach ice tea instead of sikhye.
It was around the time when I was chewing a sandwich without care, drawing such a happy feature in my mind.
May, who was standing depressed, spoke to me.
“Milady, your face has become thin.”
Huh? I turned my head and looked in the mirror from afar.
Pink eyes and purple-blue hair that reached to my waist. A face that looks pretty enough to slap the cheeks of any celebrity.
I still can’t get used to my gentle eyes, wondering If I can keep my gentle act, which is the opposite of the real me.
These days, I just ate and slept, and my round face seems to have gained more flesh than the first time that I’ve transmigrated to this body. Or maybe it’s because I slept too much.
“Even your eyes were red and bloodshot.”
Well, the thought of breaking up with that b*stard made me so excited, I couldn’t sleep that much.
“The amount of food that you’re eating has also decreased.”
Anyone who lays down for 20 hours out of 24 hours a day will eat less for sure.
“You’re having such a hard time, how can those people….. Waah (Crying).”
May, who was desperately crying, covered her face with both hands.
Until the time that I possessed this body, Ciela was a quiet and gentle young lady of the Marquis’ family.
She’s a young lady who elegantly chatted with the other young noble girls, and dreamt of a beautiful wedding together with her fiance, Duval.
So even if I said it was okay, May hardly believed me. I think she must have been very shocked.
‘May had the same personality as Ciela.’
Pure, unspoiled, and soft-hearted.
It’s not my duty, but seeing her worry like that doesn’t make me feel good. So I opened my mouth to comfort her, to tell her that it was okay but she spoke before I could.
“That can’t be, you shouldn’t be this sad. I’m going to destroy both of them.”
What?
“I will never let them be. I will destroy their name.”
Ahhhh…. Okay?
“Milady, look at this. With this alone, we can destroy those two!”
……. Wait, has she always been like this?
I look at what May proudly pulled out from her pocket. And I was so startled that I raised my voice without realizing it.
“Where did you get this?!”
“Oh, I’ve got my entire month’s worth of paycheck!”
What May took out was a half-sized round copper plate about the size of the palm of her hand. Two parakeets with their backs turned to each other are engraved.
May added a supplementary explanation thinking that may have not known what it was.
“This is a token that can be used to ask help from the Ciel’s Love Manipulation Guild!”

(Ciela’s POV)
Ciel’s Love Manipulation Guild.
It was a guild that helped all sorts of things related to love relationships. However, this guild was a bit unusual in a way that it helped out differently than the usual dating assistance.
[Sample of it was like, my husband came home late. And I got a feeling that she was seeing another woman.
However, I couldn’t get any evidence, so I came to know about this guild….
After shaving off all of my husband’s eyebrows and hair in the way the guild taught me…..
I kicked my husband out. I, then, filed for divorce.]
And what if….
[I was able to catch red-handed the person whom I thought was my lifelong companion, who shared the same bed with another person. So, while I was into it, I sent all the employees out of the mansion and burned their clothes together.
So once they noticed what I did, they had nowhere to go and didn’t know what to do in the bedroom. I caught the scene in the middle of it, so it’s a win for me.]
[Using this guild, I was cured of an incurable disease. It’s a little…. -expensive, but it’s all worth it. It would be rated as a four and a half star.
But then the price was cut in half because the house was destroyed while trying to catch an affair.]
In a word, it was a guild that would help the client catch an affair if they paid a large sum of money. Regardless of the request, a month’s salary is enough just for counseling, so I asked her again.
“How did you know about this?”
I asked May, who was bravely walking down the stairs that are narrow enough for one person to pass through.
I was lucky that May couldn’t see my face. I just need to control my voice.
Ciel’s Love Manipulation Guild was not openly advertised as “We help catch an affair.”
It’s not even a large guild, and those noble men and women who had infidelity may have heard the rumors and hid their relationship.
Working in the shadows, they only reached out to those who desperately needed the guild, and superficially acted like a common stone on the side of the road.
“You can know everything.”
May, who spoke proudly, stopped. We finally arrived in front of a tightly closed door.
The unpatterned door did not even have a handle, but it was assimilated on the surrounding walls and would pass by it if you didn’t look at it closely.
May pushed the door without hesitation. Then, she flinched and immediately looked back at me, as she whispered.
“Lady Ciela, you have to be careful.”
“Huh?”
“There are rumors that the guild master is a very dangerous person.”
“…..”
“They said that if someone messed up with him, he would turn those people into dolls. It was also said that they brought those cheaters and torture them in the basement…… It’s a groundless rumor, but there’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
“Where did you hear that?”
“Rumors are true to some extent.”
May turned back, as we were startled at the sound of another person’s voice.
Behind us stood a man in his late twenties, he had a mischievous grin..
He had a fighting parakeet emblem badge on his chest, and everyone could tell that he was a member of this guild.
The man looked at May who was so surprised and glanced towards me who was trembling. Then, he clenched his teeth with a look that seemed to hold back his laughter.
Luckily, May was frightened and didn’t seem to notice anything.
In that gap, I stepped behind May so that she could not see when I slit my neck with my thumb.
At my warning, he wiped out his laughter and said a commercial remark.
“Sorry, but according to the guild principle, only the client can enter the guild.”
Then May hurriedly turned to look at me, as if she had never expected this to happen.
“What should I do? For Milady to go in alone-”
“It’s okay May. I’m not a child.”
“What if Milady turns into a doll!”
“I’ll be cuter then, and it’s going to be okay, so don’t worry.”
“He is not as evil as the rumors say, I mean my Master.”
A man chimed in.
But when I glared at him, he quietly shut his mouth and placed his right hand on his left chest. And with an inappropriately solemn expression, he spoke as if declaring.
“The Master is a good and wonderful person. This Leather guarantees..… No, I mean…-sorry.”
The man quietly squatted in the corner, his shoulders were trembling.
As I take the ferocious expression off my face, I slightly smiled at May and said.
“It may take a long time, so go back first. I’ll be back as soon as it’s over.”
“But……”
“He may be the guild master, but I don’t think that he’s reckless enough to turn his client into a doll.”
May hesitated, wondering if she would leave me alone. But as I continued to persuade her, she nodded with difficulty.
“Okay then, Milady. And excuse me, guild member-nim?”
“Yes?”
May clenched her fists, then shouted at Leather.
“You must destroy the people that Milady commissioned! Our lady is a very soft-hearted person. She might cancel it or request for them to be watched, but don’t do just that! Do you understand?!”
“Who’s the soft-heart…. -oh yes, I understand.”
Leather, who made eye contact with me, hurriedly bowed his head.
He looked like he had a lot of things to say, but he wouldn’t want to trade his life for it.
As May nodded secretly, he then whispered, ‘I’ll guide you,’ and opened the door wide.
The inside had the shape of an ordinary small guild with a single receptionist behind a wooden counter.
The receptionist’s eyes widened when he saw me. As he was about to say hello, he noticed May behind me and quickly shut his mouth.
“Good day, Milady.”
May waved her hand with an anxious look.
I waved my hand, telling her not to worry.
The guild’s door, which boasts thorough soundproofing, was shut.
And-
“You said you’ll be resting for a while, what are you doing here?”
“Anyway, there were guests who were looking for Master a few days ago.”
“Someone requests a face-to-face conversation, and he would like to consult with the Master personally.”
The doors hiding throughout the guild suddenly burst open. From the inside, several strong men in group uniforms came out.
Looking at the scene with narrowed eyes, Leather said sarcastically.
“Can I break the Master’s fiance and that woman?”
“No, leave them alone for now.”
I looked around the guild members.
“I created this guild to solve other future problems, not to catch someone else’s affair every single time, and I also told everyone to keep it a secret because I don’t plan on expanding my business.”
“……!”
“How did it even get into the ears of my exclusive maid?”
The faces of those who made eye contact with me, that seemed to be hiding something turned blue. Some of them held trembling eyes at the glint of my ominously wriggling ‘shadow’.

One corner of my mouth kept rising due to displeasure.
I unfolded the purple fan that I always carried, half covering my face. And whispered in a low voice.
“The one who couldn’t control his mouth, come out.”
I’m going to punish that one first.
